♪ >> announcer: the parting shot with bill press. this is the "bill press show." >> bill: you know it's no secret why congress has such low approval ratings, because for one thing they duck all of the important issues and don't have any backbone. that was proven this week, when harry reid said no jno jno, i don't think dianne feinstein has enough votes, so we're not even going to schedule a vote on the assault weapon's ban. what nonsense. how do you know you don't have enough votes unless you first take a vote? this is what the american people want. they want the ban on assault

day four. hal sparks filling in for stephanie miller while she is away on vacation. we have a spa update in her allotted five days away from work, she has spent four and a half of those days either walking on a trial up into the mountains or biking on a bike with no wheels down the mountain. >> what is a bike with no wheels. >> hal: spinning. >> spinning bikes have wheels, but they don't actually go anywhere. >> hal: which is even sadder. >> i am a spin addict. >> hal: spinning has nothing to with the wheels on a vehicle. it has to do with what your knees and ankles are doing. it is just a circle. it is only a wheel if it is used
6:10 am
for transportation. let me say for the record -- and you will be on tangent police -- >> i will be. i am super hero, and i am tangent averter -- >> hal: and you are going to need to be because we have representative yarmuth from the great state of kentucky we have david bender calling in and rick overton joining us in studio for hour three. but i would like to pick a fight right out of the gate and say the person who invented the wheel -- and i'm assuming -- it might have been a tribal thing. no big deal. you know what is a big deal? the invention of the axle. >> i'm pro wheel.
6:11 am
i'm going to say the wheel. sniet >> hal: here is a good idea try to come to work on a tire tomorrow. okay. >> don't you dare me. i'll try it. >> hal: oh, i know you will. you locked your keys in the car yesterday. >> i did. >> hal: in the trunk. karl frisch is here. do we have a theme song tony? bear with us. ♪ karl ♪ ♪ so exciting to me frisch ♪ >> not to be confused with our pushing tony's button. >> for the record the whole was invented by john mccain. >> hal: that's true. >> and second if we want to know how liberals have trouble connecting with heardland america, it's because we talk
6:12 am
about riding bicycles to nowhere, which is basically what spinning class is. >> hal: right. i totally agree with you. get out there and get the air in your lungs. >> you don't think a girl who just locked her keys in a trunk would get hit by a car? it's much safer for me to be in a room than on the street. >> hal: i'm not going to argue that point with you. karl frisch you are a media strategy, a democratic strategy you have messaged different products across the great divide -- see how i'm reaching really far for this -- of politic in this country in making it accessible and then you look at the autopsy report coming from the republican party and go um excuse me? >> wasn't it fun? talk about a good read.
6:13 am
[ laughter ] >> and i mean that in the drag queeniest sense of the word. >> are you going to do the audio book, karl? >> i would like to. i love how they kind of touch around the edges of the issues that are actually far more pressing to their party. they talk about the need to reach out to different groups but they don't talk about the need to change their policy to attract the interests of those groups. >> hal: yeah, they don't know the difference between policy and propaganda and maybe this is why they spend most of their time not voting for stuff they think would pass. >> i think more people pay -- more people in d.c. pay attention to how someone voted
6:14 am
on something than the actual vote. >> one of the things that this document exposed, that we have all seen in other polling, going back years now, is people think the republican party is scary, out of touch and doesn't support their values. so if you know that, what are you going to do about it? >> hal: uh-huh. >> and you are seeing the sticky wicket that the republicans are in in the way that this report has been received by it's a base. if you look at rush limbaugh or fox news. they just basically took a collective crap on top of this document. and that's rush limbaugh. he does big craps. >> hal: he does. >> when he is not doing oxy which constipates you. >> hal: which he doesn't anywhere. because it nearly made him deaf.
6:15 am
which is why he won't listen to you when you tell him facts. but as fast as they come out -- do the phones work between the rnc and the -- the election-neering, or do they got care anymore -- >> let's take our liberal hats off and look at this as political scientists looking for a degree. imagine your political party was a certain demographic that was dying off, but still hard wired to support a certain set of issues that were largely unpopular with the american people. >> right. >> you have a few choices if that's the case.
6:16 am
when you first switch your position to attract people you are going to be in a world of pain because the people that give you money and volunteer for your causes are going to be offended and not like the idea that you changed on the issues that are dear to their hearts. so they are slowly coming out in favor of immigration reform again. there is some -- person by person -- and i'm doing my job of trying to recruit more gay children of senator -- >> hal: right. >> but as republicans encounter the idea that marriage equality isn't just about gay people it's about winning independence and women, and as they start to evolve on these issues they risk killing off a huge chunk of their population as far as the
6:17 am
vote goes for no immediate reward. so if they came out entirely in favor of gay marriage and immigration reform they would be on the right path to securing a future for themselves, but they would hurt dramatic fly the short-term. they would lose a huge chunk of the people putting them in office currently. so they are in the position of choosing whether they want to hurt now or hurt even worse later. and if it was my party i would not want to be in that position. >> hal: but it is a position they put themselves in. it's like the ceo's take short-term decisions -- >> right. it's emdemic of their mentality.
6:18 am
and that's when you see how they are trying to minimize the damage in the short-term. what do they do? if you know the demographics are changing, you try to change the rules by which we play. so start changing the voter id laws. you start playing with the rules of the game. look at the states that have flirted with the way that electoral votes are handed out. and that's like having a three inch gash on your thigh from falling off of your spin bike in class, jacki, and instead of getting sutures putting one of those shaving band aids on. it is only going to be a matter of minutes before the blood is seeping out of the hole again. and by the way, if you want to know how to win this fight, we have to act like republicans do when democrats are weak.
6:19 am
we don't look at them and pity them or think we have won, let's get to governing, what we do is go in for the kill. because in a knife fight between a liberal and a conservative a conservative will stab ya and then they'll step on the wound, and break your neck and then put you in the trunk next to the other bodies -- >> hal: and a liberal will say here is my knife. >> right. >> hal: on that note we will let you go. karl frisch, karl frisch.com some fantastic stuff. not the least of which is on your sight, karlfrisch.com. you have a -- >> youth in government it changed my life. >> hal: so not only is karl frisch's site great in and of

nickname, either. >> hal: no bee bee is like a tiny little sphere. bb is substitute word when you can't pronounce things. >> obama: it's nice to get away from congress. >> hal: just when they are yelling to start the music, and you hear president obama lean over, it's good to get away from congress. you know how bad things are in your relationship with congress that you go to israel to talk about peace -- i think it was gilbert gilbert gottfried who said there was this genie and he says i'll

grant you unwish. the palestinians and the jews have been fighting forever, would you please do something about it. and he said i can't do anything about it. and he goes what is your second wish? and he says my wife has never performed oral sex on me -- can i get a look at the palestinian thing again -- it's like things are so contentious in congress that i'm going to go to the gaza strip to get away from it all. the unnecessary caveat that you have to put forward that you have to go not all republicans -- not all republicans -- not all conservatives are -- >> yeah. >> hal: you always have to start off the conversation, because

6:31 am
representative yarmuth, and rick overton, but there is this thing somehow that if you criticize the actions of the israel government, you are anti-semin tick or anti-israel. and that to me is like saying if you criticize the bush administration, you are un-american. that paints everybody into a corner where nobody can make progress. >> there is a complicated issue. i was raised jewish and there are conversations that happen at home with members of my family and extended friends and family about how i feel about our relationship with israel and how they feel, and there's an undying
6:32 am
undying devotion with israel. >> hal: right. when we come back, we're going to discuss that. 1-800-steph-1-2 is our number. heard the president say the other night? is this personal or is it political? a lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. but we do care about them, right? vo: the war room tonight at 6 eastern

6:38 am
comedians, rick overton will be joining us in hour three. we're starting to get a lot of calls about the israeli palestinian issue. and this is actually -- i think the fear of appearing anti-se -- see met tick slows down the process. it's instrumental to how long the process has taken. look at the english and the irish. it is a similar territorial issue, it is equally as violent. you had the ira as active as much as any force on the palestinian side ireland was
6:39 am
against england for the same occupy reasons. but there was never the pretense that somehow you could seem anti-irish or anti-english except based on policy and actions in the past. you didn't -- it wasn't seen as a racial issue or a belief system issue, and internally it was an old fashioned protestant catholic divide. >> yeah, it was all religious. which we would say during the course of the show today we would like you to say which religion you choose. >> hal: right. because no fair you try to be, you are going to have to retreat back. so since i can't convert to judaism, although i pass the physical test i suppose --

6:41 am
personality test? >> hal: no you don't have to have your head hooked up to a simon. so this is a difficult conversation. tony why don't you give us andre mitchell's assess of the relationship between the president and israel right now. >> none of the independent critics would say that the white house has not bungled this relationship. but a lot of people have put blame on the israelis as well. these leaders do not get along. they are not sympatico, there is still an assumption that netanyahu is still in mitt romney's camp. >> hal: let's be real clear as a
6:42 am
full disclosure that never gets done. andrea mitchell is married to alan greenspan, the former head of the fed. and he was an acolyte of ayn rand. if you look at the age difference she was a trophy wife at the time. i'm glad they stuck together. but initially you can tell she was his hot young politician kind of wife. that being said, it is never stated that andrea mitchell -- every time she talks about anything dealing with monetary issues, it should be tattooed on her forehead so you know who you are talking to. it's like when clarence thomas's wife talking about religious freedom and the right not to have health care you should say by the way.
6:43 am
that being said, it is interesting to me what she says that what is botched about this relationship is that they are not sympatico, there's not a buddy system. where you would never say that about any of our other allies. and it may be from some group -- if we don't have this no daylight relationship with israel, that somehow other leaders in the middle east will get this idea that it's a time to move. >> i don't think our policy has shifted at all. >> hal: not at all. >> and the president has continued to reiterate that. >> hal: right. so let's take some calls. and we'll do this -- it's a difficult one to talk about. let's go to tim in columbus ohio. hi tim.
6:44 am
>> caller: i'm a member of a reform reformed community, and not even in the jewish community can you bring up that something that israel is doing is not quite right. you just can't do it. so there is no open talk in that community, so you can't expect there to be that discussion in the u.s. community. so we're all expected to act like we support everything israel does de facto, because it is a jewish state. and that is in no way true at all. >> hal: yeah, that's like saying that no matter what the -- the president of the united states always takes into account how
6:45 am
all americans feel. it's absurd. and it's interesting that we live in a country that prizes religious freedom and we are supposed to not have any daylight between what is essentially a religious state. that's a really big deal. whereas we use that as a point of contention between iran or saddam hussein and how the christians were treated and the like of this unified -- because it is a secular -- it's a muslim government, leading a muslim nation that somehow there's no daylight between the people and the leadership there. there's tons of daylight between israels and the policies of netanyahu, and even between netanyahu and perez. he said yesterday there basically needs to be a
6:46 am
two-state agreement, period. [overlapping speakers] >> hal: and before we take a break. let's take one more caller. annette in caramel, california. >> caller: hi. >> hal: hi. >> caller: hi, good morning to you. >> hal: good morning. >> caller: i have three things to say. first of all i want to tell you to relax, because gandhi says god has no religion. don't worry about it. >> hal: that's true. that's like saying beef has no restaurant. >> caller: god has no religion. >> hal: right. >> caller: second thing worrying about anti-semitism it has nothing to do with that it has to do with anti-zionism, which is a very destructive policy. >> hal: especially when it comes from evangelical christians in
6:47 am
this country who believe in wiping out those that don't believe this christ -- the michele bachmanns of the world and sarah palins of the world, they are at the far arc of the movement which is get them all back to israel so that jesus can appear, and the ones that don't believe will have their throats sliced. they really do -- >> caller: listen, i'm glad you are bringing it up today, because all main stream media don't talk about that with the truth. if you are lived around the world as i have the picture of what is going on in israel and palestine is nothing like it is portrayed here. it is so one-sided here it's
6:48 am
disgraceful. and finally i'm discussed that $8 million of our tax money go to israel. and i cannot stand it when my president kowtows and acts like they are our best friend. i would never have a best friend that was so cruel. israel is a cruel nation. with cruel people like bb netanyahu. >> hal: i appreciate the call. but the cruelty of the leaders will never be reflected as the populous even in most cases the majority. there are those two have believed in the interaction of the palestinians and israelis on a regular basis. and many people who believe this
6:49 am
fight is more over a waterway. because the water that runs through there -- which side gets the resource is part of the fight. >> really? >> hal: and right now the water falls on the gaza palestinian side of the thing. so it's a way of reclaiming that source -- this is an area of the world where water is of high -- but let's take a break and let's come back. we have a bunch of calls in particular about this. and a couple of people who think that i should become a scientologist or perhaps a free mason, because i will need a group to protect me -- >> i ought to do some free mason googling. so let's come back, and i'll weigh in too. >> hal: yeah, i have my own feelings about the matter. >> do i have to become whatever you aren't. >> yes, so we can argue. the important thing is that we
6:50 am
have a religious line dividing us above all. no matter how much we look similar, we must have a religious line between us arbitrarily dividing us, because of stuff that happened 2,000 years ago. we'll be right back after this. >> what in the name of holy hell is going on here? >> announcer: it's the "stephanie miller show." care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. but we do care about them, right? vo: the war room tonight at 6 eastern

it and put it in front of him, and some sort of cheese make microwaveable dinner. and you're fine. i want to play this clip of chuck todd. all of these people have freaked out that obama jumped down the throat of a reporter. a reporter got hammered by obama for asking too many questions. and this is -- tell me from the tone if you think that this is obama telling a reporter to stop asking so many questions and shutting him down. >> what do you believe went wrong? did you push israel too hard? what do you wish you would have done differently? and mr. prime minister i want to help out my colleague over here on the follow-up that he had, which was do you accept the
6:57 am
president's understanding that iran is a year away from having a nuclear weapon? and i have one more question -- >> obama: chuck did you see how the lady from channel 1 had one question. >> these are reiterations. >> i get four questions, right? [ applause ] >> look, this is not a kosher question, but dot hog it. >> hal: so this is the two of them shutting down a reporter. here is my problem with chuck todd. chuck todd is much like david gregory, in that they have this -- because they are involved with msnbc, there is a
6:58 am
perception that they are progressive or liberal. which is exact le the opposite. i find them more often running interference than creating false balance which is a cnn problem. and chuck todd especially never been a fan of obama or hillary clinton, and has -- at certain points intentionally -- the idea is not real reporting but to throw tacks under the tires, and -- but that has nothing to do with this. this is chuck todd eating other reporter's time. which is -- who's to say they haven't asked those question -- everybody there had their own singular question. this is chuck todd thinking i am getting screen time, i'm getting these questions so i get the tape. >> chuck and i go way, way back so it's very hard for me to have any -- i just have a very warm spot in my heart for chuck and

7:10 am
operates and the people themselves, and then the rand paul and yourself and mitch mcconnell and possibly ashley judd replacing -- it's an odd place to be right now. it's a hot bed politically. what do you see is the trend there these days? >> well, you know, i think what we are seeing in kentucky is a lot of the disconnect that we seay cross the country that when you ask people how they feel about a particular issue like -- >> hal: obamacare? >> yeah, if they want to -- i can talk about obamacare in a minute but if you want to touch social security, medicare or medicaid, or defund education, they'll say we don't want to cut the entitlement programs, we want education paid for and so forth and so on and then they vote for the people who want to do the opposite. >> hal: yeah or in the case of
7:11 am
rand paul eliminate the department of education. >> yes. i have become kind of the avatar for ashley judd even though i don't think that is accidental or that she wanted me to but people in kentucky tend to vote with people who they feel comfortable comfortable and not necessarily people they agree with. and i think that's why she has such a great chance at beating mitch mcconnell. because people are tired of mitch mcconnell. >> hal: in all fairness mitch mcconnell is not comfortable with mitch mcconnell. >> exactly. >> hal: he never seems to feel comfortable with himself. when nancy pelosi was speaker of the house, there were so many stalled bills that were worthwhile that were not getting through jnow there's the exact
7:12 am
opposite. there is a stampede of republican bills that are never going to nakt the senate that are going to make it through. it's the old boss meet the new boss same agenda. >> right. like my friend said it's the same baby, different diaper, but eventually you are going to have to change it. [ laughter ] >> hal: nice analogy. >> yeah, they seem to think there is no chance of getting their agenda enacted, so they'll put the most extreme forward, and not even try to work toward some rational approach to a problem. it's send the reddest meat possible to the base and we understand that nothing is going
7:13 am
to happen but that's don't want the government to do anything. >> hal: right. they have come down soundly on the side of propaganda even paul ryan saying with his budget, it's a statement more than an actual budget. it's like his vision board versus, you know, his actual policy, because it curtails -- it counts on repealing obamacare, but keeps the savings from it. >> yeah, and the tax revenues it from. >> hal: right. and that's who you are dealing with. how do you approach something like that. and then you have constituents who you say obamacare and they are against it you say everything that is in it and they are for it. >> during the last campaign we asked people whether they supported or opposed the
7:14 am
affordable care act. and 55% said they supported it. when you asked them if they were for obamacare, 55% was against it. >> that's why i don't like the term. i know the president and democrats have been willing to embrace the term but i do think it comes from a negative place and carries a negative connotation, and i don't think repeating it makes it sound better. i think we should say affordable care act or health care reform and make that stick. >> absolutely. and i think those poll numbers bare that out. clearly in kentucky there is a segment of the population that will not support anything that has barack obama's name attached to it. >> hal: right. and it's -- and i know those people. i grew up around those people. many people may or may not know
7:15 am
i'm originally from peaks mill kentucky, at the time one road 46 people. we had a little white christian church in every sense of the world, and a cemetery and there are big sections of kentucky that are like that that if you go to these people individually and go is it right that a black person, for example would be denied housing if they could afford to buy a house, should they be denied the ability -- and they would say absolutely not. and at the same time they will vote repeatedly for people who actually instigate those kind of policies. is it an education thing? is the propaganda versus policy takt -- the republicans are taking a valuable one on one front in that the messaging is more important than reality. >> i think you are exactly
7:16 am
right. the things we're dealing with in washington now are really really complicated. and the media basically treats everything in ten-second sound bites, so it's easy to say the health care debate in three seconds, government takeover, death panels all of those throw-away lines that don't mean anything, but that's all many people hear. and folks don'ting want to take the time listening to two hours of an extensive discussion if one were available about the affordable care act and that's % part of the problem. how do we have discussions about today's complicated issues in today's environment? >> would you agree there is some
7:17 am
responsibility on the part of the members of congress to educate themselves to be able to speak about this? >> absolutely. >> because we were knee deep in the fight and they had no clue. >> you are absolutely right. i spent basically 14 months doing nothing but talking about health care reform. and i would walk into a room in my district with 50 people who wr were ready to strangle me, and spend 50 minutes going through the options, and after that period of time, they would walk out and say, hey, this sounds great. but it totally was an education process, and we didn't do -- as a party we didn't do very good job of that. individual people did better
7:18 am
than others for sure. >> hal: right. and we only have a couple of seconds left with you, and first of all i want to thank you for being the congressman from the great state of kentucky but there is one other issue, and i want to personally thank you. and you can go to yarmuth.house.gov, is that you are talking about introducing -- or have introduced a bill to study mountain top removal due to mining. you can only live so long that way, and being down river from that kind of stuff, and going yes, we get cheap entity here but our health care costs are twice that over here it becomes almost zero sum or a sum
7:19 am
negative over time. >> it's a tragedy in eastern kentucky and i talked to a teacher down there, and she said when the students draw their environment they draw their creeks and streams in orange because that's what they see. that's how bad it is. it's just a horrendous practice. even the speaker of the house in kentucky who comes from that area recently said mountain top removal needs banned. >> hal: you have this entire region of the country that is known for its landscape and a beautiful one for that and systematically they are being ground down to nubs. it's one thing to lose all of your trees, but once you start carving down your mountains there's no growing back. and obviously we're up against a
7:20 am
break, so i wanted to thank you for being strong on that. >> absolutely. i hope we have a united senator, ashley judd who will continue that fight, because she is passionate about the subject as well. >> hal: it's amazing how somebody wouldn't be passionate about not poisoning our kids just so we would keep our lights on $0.05 a year cheaper. >> that's right. >> hal: we'll be back with more of the stephanie miller. david bender will be up after the break. and we'll take more of your calls about the issue of our relationship with israel and should we be in a no daylight situation with any country? especially when we have tons of daylight between the parties in our own country? that's an odd -- i think an important question, and an odd situation to be in. we'll be back.

7:31 am
israel was formed as a jewish state. now there is a difference. the difference is, is that jews needed a homeland because they were being driven out, persecuted and slaughtered in the places that they lived, so there is somewhat of ardifferent historical context here which is why you have the american jewish community feeling such a strong kinship to this idea that jews should be safe in the homeland that they created because they were persecuted. i have some thoughts about that and we can talk about them after the break. >> hal: yeah let's do that. >> look at him getting you off to break in time. >> hal: oh, he's a total pro, everything i learned about radio i lerped from david bender and then forget it. and then i have to call him and go what is time for the quarter

7:39 am
of israel. the jews are not our enemy anymore, the arabs are. i just find this fascinating. now they love the jews. these evil evangelical hypocrites are something else. >> hal: that is an excellent point. i think there are plenty of people out there who still hate the jews, but there are certainly a group of evangelicals who are siding with israel not because of israelis or jews but because they think that's the sight of christ's return. >> that's right. this isn't a turn around this wasn't oh, we were mistaken all of those times when we were burning crosses, or sainting swastikas, this is that the biblical prophecy that there has to be a state of israel in order
7:40 am
for jesus to return. and the irony is of course when jesus comes back jews go to hell. >> hal: i don't think that is lost on them. that is an inconvenient truth for a lot of people dealing with evangelicals. >> but let's see if bibi netanyahu will say that. >> hal: of course not. >> but whether there is a 51st state that is israel, israel is a democratic ally, it is important to have allies that share your world view and your form of government and when those governments act in ways like our government act that are anti-democratic, they need to be opposed by their own people. you have huge peace marches in israel where people of israel oppose the war and oppressive policies of their government.
7:41 am
there is one interesting historical fact, and this is one i have been waiting to share for a long time, and thank you for giving me the opportunity. we almost had israel as the 51st state -- actually the 50th state before the state was formed in the late 40s, when harry truman was president, get this one of the warner brothers harry warner commissioned a -- a white paper, 35 pages of research saying mr. president and he brought it directly to president truman the idea of palestine is a terrible idea. if the jewish homeland becomes palestine it will be a constant state of war. what is a surprise? >> hal: uh-huh. >> he want alaska and he said
7:42 am
to the president, we should give the jewish people alaska then all they have to worry about is canadians. >> hal: nobody has to worry about canadians. >> exactly. and there was a major effort. obviously it couldn't work again because of the biblical prophecy. >> hal: this is about some rocks being holier than others. >> but think if harry truman had said yes. >> hal: wow. what the middle east would look like today. >> and there would be no sarah palin or she would be jewish. >> hal: eye it's cold up here. and by the way i personally am one of the big believers that the creation of israel while
7:43 am
there was a vast number of people who supported it as a protection for the jewish people as a guarantee of their rights as a people to exist, there was also a largely anti-se mettic move in sending their people there. there were certainly parts of u.s. government and other foreign governments at the same time, it was almost like a bar at the end of the night you don't have to go home but you can't stay here. and there's this idea that we -- we don't really want the jews to come to the united states, not really but if we give them the land we can pat ourselves on the back for doing something nice and they can all go there. >> so palestine was like last call. >> it was the jewish equivalent of the back to africa movement. we'll free blacks but free them
7:44 am
to fridonia. we'll create a state with a big barbed wire state around it -- hail ferdonia. >> hal: absolutely. >> but you had it right. this is all about the bible. it was a convenient thing for a lot of governments to say not in my backyard but the jewish people from around the planet said this is fulfilling the biblical imperative that we have that place in that state, the jerusalem is ours from 2,000 years ago. so you can't argue that. it's not a rashal discussion. >> stephanie: it's like rand paul day before yesterday on cnn, and they are talking about his personhood amendment -- which by the way, somebody brought up own twitter -- and i seemed
7:45 am
brilliant -- the personhood amendment put forth by the anti-abortion movement are actually there to scuttle anti-personhood bills about corporatism, it waters the issue around the word personhood because the corporate person hood movement was creating steam. so it's an oxymoron and so it's easy -- it's a good useful tool to message around that so people like rand paul are using the word personhood and putting bills they know aren't going to fly -- >> do you think there is that much foresight? >> hal: absolutely i do. >> really the intention of using
7:46 am
the word personhood. >> hal: it's corporatism. >> so what about a baby corporation? >> hal: yeah, right. >> does it have any rights? >> hal: how about this -- if i form a corporation on legal zoom this afternoon at conception does it have -- can i be bailed out by the government. >> the statement you just made means you can be bailed out by the government. >> hal: exactly. the sin of the mind is the same as the sin of the body. so that leads us into a distinct point and we just have about a minute left, and david bender perhaps you can explain to us ho we -- the message versus the reality. obviously -- this comes up -- the gop rebranding -- in 10 seconds yeah -- is propaganda versus policy. this is what i really think. they have decided to go with
7:47 am
propaganda because they have no policy that anybody will stomach or like. and it's like they are taking a page out of how the palestinian israel conflict has been handled for years. >> since jim ward isn't here i'll play that part. and i can't play his voice but neither can he because there are too many. but here is the answer the republicans don't have policy because they are not interested in government. if they were they would be thinking about solutions which require policies. propaganda is all they do and that goes back to, thank you jim jimmy fallon, the nazis. this is that idea of lying repeatedly largely, and consistently so that people believe lies as truth. policy is never part of their agenda because they don't want government to work. simple as that. >> hal: right.

poison the waters and streams? to them there is a protection racket going on. their side needs to grab as much as they can, because it is all going to run out one day. we have to skim and grab and skim and grab and guarantee our progeny a protected class place, and how we do it is moral because i'm protecting my families and heirs. >> reality reinvents itself per circumstance like one of those stick um things you put up a note. you can stick it to anything like gum. >> hal: every state house where they have tried to put the ten commandments has the death penalty. there is not a single state that has outlawed the death penalty that i know of -- and there may be one -- where a legislator has gotten anyone where they don't

there are protections in israel, however, i'm sure the indians that originally inhabited wisconsin had the exact same feeling about that land but they were nudged into the dakotas into the crappy valleys that don't crow anything. so it is amazing how we shrug off, for example native american connections or aborigine connections in the case of australia, or look at the tribal fights and go of course they are fighting nobody cares who owns that land, but when the israelis and the palestinians do it's worthy of international at attention. >> it's what i recognize and
